APPLETON – A stark, provocative image of a woman in the throes of labour being comforted by a midwife, painted by Appleton artist Adri-an Baker, will go on display in Chicago, Ill. this week.
Baker’s “The Midwife,” was originally part of an earlier series of paintings called “Labours of Love,” which was on display at the Dale Smith Gallery in Ottawa and at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, as part of the White Ribbon campaign to help the families of women who die during childbirth in third world countries.
“The Midwife” will now hang alongside the works of about 37 other artists at the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, starting Nov. 5 and run-ning until Dec. 23, as part of a collection of works that explore the theme “Mothers.”
“I’m very pleased because it’s nice to show out of the country,” said Baker during an interview last week. “You need to expand your horizons as an artist.”
Baker’s painting shows the raw agony many women go through during childbirth, a feeling many women can relate to.
“The work I’m doing about the birthing series, women get it. Some men are confused by it,” she said. “I fi nd women universally love the series. It appeals to women. It’s from a woman’s point of view.”
In the past, she said, men who painted women tended to paint them as sex symbols, but her work, and that of the other female artists at the juried exhibit, show woman as the symbol of fer-tility and motherhood.
Baker noted that issues of femininity or moth-erhood have been overlooked in artwork of the past, save for images of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus commissioned by the church.

Beckwith family mourns loss of husband, fatherKATIE MULLIGAN
The family of a Beckwith man who was reported missing last week is facing trag-ic news as his story is pieced together.
Daniel Dion, 51, was found dead on Sunday, Oct. 31 in Mexico after he was reported missing last week. He was last in contact with his family on Friday, Oct. 22, when he spoke with his wife. Mexican forensic investigators on Monday were testing DNA from skeletal remains found in the trunk of a car rented last month by Dion.
Dion, owner of Shed Ottawa (formerly Shed FX) on Highway 7 in Beckwith, had traveled to Mexico on a business trip. He was not on his scheduled fl ight home on
Oct. 26.Dion’s family fl ew to Mexico once con-
tact was lost. The businessman had been calling home daily.
“Considering what we know and have seen, the people that killed Daniel were professional and went greatly out of their way to leave as little trace of the vehicle and his body as possible,” said a state-ment from his family.
“This leads us to believe it was a con-tract execution.”
Dion’s body was found in the trunk of his rental car, which had been set on fi re, in southern Mexico, his family believes.
The family said the few details they know about his death are because they did their own investigation.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Proper fi re rescue training goes a long way.
That is something the Mississippi Mills Fire Department focus-es on to ensure the safety of fi re fi ghters, as well as those caught in dangerous situations when their homes or businesses are ablaze.
On Oct. 29, Farm Credit Canada presented a grant for $6,000 to the Almonte and Ramsay Firefi ghters’ Association to go towards the training centre, located behind the fi re hall on Wolf Grove Road.
District fi re Chief Bruce Toshack said the centre, which is built out of large storage containers, is designed to have real-life situ-ations mimicked. The two-story apparatus contains furniture, stairs, windows and doors to resemble a house or standard build-ing. While fi res are not actually set inside of the building, smoke is pushed in through the side to create situations where fi refi ght-ers would have extremely limited visibility.
Toshack said in one situation, a deck of playing cards was spread out throughout the building to challenge the fi refi ghters.
“Best poker hand won,” he said.Firefi ghter Cody Lowry said in the past, money was given to all
fi re departments from the provice to go towards prevention, edu-cation and training.
“We put the money and the manpower together to construct what we have here,” said Lowry.
Most of the supplies to create the training centre were obtained locally.
John Gregory of Farm Credit Canada said he was impressed with what the money was being used for.
“We just give the money,” he said. “You guys do all of the work.”
Lowry said the training apparatus is used to create as many dif-ferent situations as possible.
“The more times we do it, the more it becomes second nature,” he said.
Saving lives through increased training

CHIGAGO from the front page“You rarely see shows on that topic (motherhood),” said Baker.
“They (the Chicago exhibit organizers) really wanted a woman’s point of view.”
Baker’s painting will stand out, and not only because of its sub-ject matter.
“Mine is one of the very few paintings,” said Baker, since there are a lot of photographs and multimedia pieces sharing the gallery space.
She is also one of only two Canadian artists taking part in the exhibit.
Baker noted that it was appropriate that such a feminine exhibit was being held in Chicago, because that was the name chosen by ac-claimed feminist artist Judy Chicago, who changed her last name to that of one of America’s largest cities.
“The feminist art movement has kind of died down a bit over the last few years,” Baker said, calling women “omnipresent, yet under-represented in art.”
Baker’s inspiration for the paintings came from a series of pho-tographs she took in British Columbia in the 1990s, when she went along with a midwife to observe her carrying out her job.
She had originally sent in three paintings for the Chicago gallery’s consideration, but only one could be selected.
“I was surprised at the one they chose,” said Baker.This will be the second international showing of Baker’s works.
Last year, she was selected to be the artist-in-residence at the Ber-muda Masterworks Museum, where she lived for three months, teaching and painting. Her time in Bermuda was capped off with her own solo exhibit at the museum.
“It sold out,” she said of her work on display. “They (Bermudans) like art about their own country.”
Baker plans to travel down to Chicago with four friends to take part in the exhibit opening.
“It’s a good chance to meet other artists and talk to the gallery owner about possible opportunities,” said Baker.
Baker is also an art teacher, and an exhibit of her adult students’
works, entitled “The Appleton Studio Artists Show,” will be on dis-play at Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place until the end of Novem-ber.
The works will be uprooted to the Chambers Gallery at the Missis-sippi Mills municipal building, for December 2010 and January 2011. They will then fi nd their way to the corridor gallery of the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library.
The opening reception at Read’s Book Shop will be held on Friday, Nov. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Mayor Al Lunney is attempting to ar-range a meeting with federal Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Minister Chuck
Strahl about the Ottawa Valley Railway.
“(Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP) Gordon O’Connor is work-ing on Strahl,” said Lunney.
Lunney told the Mississippi Mills town council on Monday, Nov. 1 the federal government
had until Friday, Nov. 5 to say if it wanted to buy the rail line. If they passed up the offer, the Province of Ontario would be given 30 days to decide if it want-ed the line. If they too passed on snapping up the line, the City of Ottawa would be given 30 days to consider a purchase.
If all of those three levels of
government said no, “then the rails will be ripped up, starting in April 2011,” said Lunney.
Lunney told council that two private parties had expressed interest in buying the rail line.
“But they won’t tell us who,” said Lunney, noting the silence was because of privacy issues
and because “they (the private bidders) were not successful,” in their attempts.
If the rails are ripped up, oth-er rail infrastructure, such as crossing lights and bridges will also have to be dealt with.
“Canadian Pacifi c CP will not leave a bridge there once they rip the line up. It’s a liability,” said Lunney. “The only hope is the federal government.”
Lunney questioned the timing of offering the line to different levels of government, coming so close to last month’s municipal elections.
“I believe that these CP guys know what they were doing,” said Lunney. “By the time they get this whole process done with, they’ll be ripping up the steel (tracks).”
“Your corrections are right on the timing,” agreed Pakenham Ward Coun. Denzil Ferguson.
Lunney also told council he is also trying to set up a meeting with Ontario’s infrastructure minister Bob Chiarelli, but the Ottawa West-Nepean MPP has not been returning Lunney’s phone calls, as of Monday night.
“We’ll keep trying on it,” promised Lunney.

Federal government has until Nov. 5 to decide if it will buy up rail lineCommunity

The Ottawa Valley Rail line runs from Chalk River to Smiths Falls, via Almonte and Carleton Place. The federal government must decide by tomorrow if it wants to buy the line or not.

As October slips away, Novem-ber brings a time to remember.
Next week, Remembrance Day will give communities a chance to honour the memory of those who fought in the various wars over the years. Some came home while others gave the ultimate sacrifi ce.
On Nov. 11, cermonies will be held in Carleton Place, Beckwith Almonte and Clayton.
In Carleton Place, the Carleton Place Legion’s colour party and parade will form up in front of the town hall at 10:30 a.m., then march to Memorial Park around 10:45 a.m. in order to be formed at the cenotaph for the start of the 11 a.m. ceremonies.
Ron Goebel of the legion will be the offi ciating offi cer and Rev. Peter Dahlin of the Zion-Memo-rial Church will perform the prayer. Outgoing mayor Paul Dulmage will say some words during the ceremonies. A gun will sound at the start of the two minutes of silence, and at the end.
The Second Service Battalion, Base Petawawa will attend the ceremonies and there will be a contingent from the 42nd Field Regiment, Lanark and Renfrew Scottish.
Melba Barker will lay the cross as the Silver Cross Mother.
Following the ceremonies, an open house will be held at the legion, located at 177 George St., Carleton Place. The Mississippi Mudds singers will perform some war time songs, followed
by Smokey Rose.
BECKWITH
The cenotaph located in Beck-with Park near the Cover-All building will be the gathering place for Beckwith residents, representatives and visitors on Nov. 11 at 1 p.m.
Reeve Richard Kidd said orga-nizers expect to see familiar fac-es on hand, such as students and teachers from Beckwith Public School and Calvary Christian Academy school in Franktown, as well as boy scouts and the township’s new council.
“We hope the community can come,” said Kidd.
The reeve said the event pro-vides a cross section of the com-munity, from young people to se-nior citizens and veterans who come for the ceremony.
Former long-time reeve Chris Tyson will act as master of cer-emonies, while Rev. Fred Som-merville of the Beckwith Bap-tist Church in Tennyson will provide the prayer.
MISSISSIPPI MILLS
The fi rst ceremonies of the day in Mississippi Mills will take place in Clayton at 11 a.m., at the Clayton Cenotaph, and in Pak-enham, also at 11 a.m., in front of Pakenham Public School.
Next, Almonte Legion Branch 192 will form the Remembrance Day Parade outside of the Al-monte legion around 1:30 p.m., then march to the cenotaph, near the Almonte Old Town Hall, for the 2 p.m. ceremony.
Bobby McCormich will be the Silver Cross Mother and widow representative at the Clayton and Almonte ceremonies.
“We encourage the kids to come,” said Joseph LeBlanc of Almonte Legion Branch 240 and parade marshal.
Local representatives, resi-dents and business people will
have the opportunity to lay wreaths during each ceremony.
LeBlanc said the 42nd Regi-ment, Lanark and Renfrew Scot-tish Royal Canadian Artillery will provide a gun to begin and end the two-minute silence. Two service battalions from CFB Pet-awawa will also be on hand.
The Mississippi Mills Pipes
and Drums band will lead dur-ing the Almonte and Clayton ceremonies.
“We are here to remember those who paid the supreme sacrifi ce,” said LeBlanc. “And those who went over (seas) and came back.”
The services will be dedicated to the “fallen comrades,” said LeBlanc.

UFOs, politics and bible prophecy at CP conference DESMOND DEVOY
CARLETON PLACE – As he stands up to have his photo tak-en, Blair Brown stops suddenly and says, “Oh, we forgot to men-tion UFOs.”
Unidentifi ed Flying Objects, for him, are very much worth mentioning, since they will be the main topic of conversation during a conference on Nov. 12 entitled “Politics, Prophecy and the Supernatural,” at The Light-house Free Methodist Church, (355 Moffatt St.) in Carleton Place, starting at 7 p.m. The con-ference continues the next day.
Blair, along with his father, Rev. Guy Brown, the church’s as-sistant pastor, is organizing the event. Author, researcher and lecturer Dr. L.A. Marzulli will speak at the conference.
“UFOs do exist and they (sightings) are increasing, so it is the whole question of, ‘What are they?’” asked Blair.
He said when it comes to the issue of UFOs, “people tend to turn away from it.”
Guy adds that Marzulli will be addressing UFOs “from a Chris-tian perspective.”
The conference will not focus solely on little green men from galaxies far, far away. The church hosts a weekly bible prophecy discussion group, led by Guy, which looks at passages in the bible, particularly “The Revela-tion to John,” better known as The Book of Revelations in the New Testament.
“What it boils down to (is), what does the bible and ancient prophecy say about he world to-day?” said Blair. “People look to the church for explanations and answers, maybe not so much anymore.”
Guy concedes that bible prophecy is a “controversial” issue.
“There are a lot of Christians who are uncomfortable about it and don’t want to talk about it,” Guy said, during an interview last week.
He has had people ask him if the conference is going to be “all doom and gloom.” He said that some of it will be.
“We’re heading to the wall at 100 kilometres per hour, and this guy (Marzulli) is like an air bag,” said Guy. “He’s not a prophet and never claimed to be.”
The two men know there are skeptics of bible prophecy – in fact, they are sure that some will likely attend the confer-ence.
“We’re expecting more non-church people than church peo-ple,” said Guy.
They also point out that Mar-zulli has admitted when he was wrong. Earlier this year, Mar-zulli predicted that there would be a war in the Middle East over the summer months.
“You know what, I was wrong,” Guy quoted Marzulli as saying.
The two men, who have heard Marzulli speak on the Internet, say he is a compelling public speaker, and despite the occa-sional fi re-and-brimstone warn-ings, say he also has a sense of humour.
One example of what Blair calls “fact-based information,” is Russia selling nuclear com-ponents to Iran for its nuclear power program, a move that some fear could help Iran build nuclear weapons. Guy points to the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 to 39, which he says show that Iran will make a deal with Rus-sia to attack Israel.
“What you decide to do with that (information) is up to you,” said Blair. “I’ve been brought this information, and I feel an obligation to share it.”
The two men also mention se-
vere weather that, they claim, pointing to the book of Matthew, chapter 24, will soon get worse.
“Are we getting near the end times? You decide,” said Guy.
Some televangelists have used end-of-the-world scenarios to solicit donations on their pro-grams, but Guy stressed that he wants to distance himself from that part of Christianity.
“Televangelists scare me,” Guy said. “It’s fear-mongering and a heresy to pull that stuff.”
The two men laughed when they recounted the number of dates in the last few years when the world was supposed to end. Many will remember the scare
over Y2K, when the start of the new millennium in 2000 and a predicted crash of the world’s computers was to usher in the end times. The current craze is the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012.
“We’re not putting a date on it
(the end times),” said Guy. “You can’t.”
Guy said the Bible tends to fo-cus mostly on events in the Holy Land, the Middle East, and that Canada and the U.S. do not fi g-ure that prominently in proph-ecy.
“I personally do not recognize the Bible talking about the U.S. or Canada,” said Guy.
Some prophecy scholars point to U.S. President Barack Obama as the “charismatic leader,” who will usher in the end times, a theory Guy does not buy in to.
“As far as Obama goes, people do try to say that,” said Guy. “He’s not the antichrist.”

PAKENHAM – Though she’s big on the green movement, Pa-tricia Larkin enjoyed a golden moment last month, accepting one of the Tri-Valley Conserva-tion awards.
Larkin’s Nature Works Learn-ing won in the business catego-ry at the awards gala held late last month at the South Nation Conservation headquarters in Finch, Ont.
“I was excited to win the award. It’s always nice to be rec-ognized for the work that you do,” said Larkin.
The conservation awards are handed out by the Missis-sippi Valley and Rideau Valley Conservation organizations, as well as the three conservation authorities in the Mississippi Valley, Rideau Valley and South Nation. They celebrate the work done to protect local waterways and foster understanding of the ecosystem.
Larkin was nominated by the Mississippi Valley Field Natu-ralists.
“We’ve been developing some special environmental educa-tion programs in schools in La-
nark County,” Larkin said of her company’s work. “We’ve created outdoor education programs in Gemmill Park (in Almonte)…(as part of) the water resources unit for the Ontario Grade 8 (curricu-lum).”
Some of her curriculum plan-ners have already been utilized as part of the Grade 9 biology class at Almonte District High School.
Her company started as a vol-unteer-run initiative in 2001 and expanded over the years. While she admits she does not have a teaching background, degrees in geology and environmental studies have enabled her to lay out adaptable lesson plans.
“It’s a lay-person’s approach (to teaching), but it is curricu-lum-based,” said Larkin.
One new pilot project will see Grade 8 students help test out new curriculum.
Larkin is in the midst of ex-panding a similar program to two Perth schools, St. John Catholic High School and The Stewart School.
“This time, it’s funded through the Royal Bank of Canada’s Blue Water program,” she said of the Perth programs. “We’re just in the middle of it right now.”
The new program looks at ground water and surface water issues.
“The kids will be developing a water action plan for their school,” Larkin said. “I return in the spring to do a second re-view to see what improvements have been made because of their actions.”
As part of the program, some students have organized as-semblies to raise awareness of water issues at their schools. A school in Carp even opened one of these assemblies to the wider community, and ended up raising more than $1,000 for the Ryan’s Well charity.
There are a number of areas that students have discovered, much to Larkin’s delight.
“There has been a terrifi c ef-fort made,” she said of the in-school program.
Some kids address the issue of leaking toilets, the use of salt on the roads in wintertime, and even proper paint storage.
“They’ve put up signage ask-ing kids not to run the tap longer than they have to,” she said.
Even students who live in more rural areas are given help on how they can take the safe water message home with them.
“They are given resources on how to keep their water clean as well,” said Larkin.
She is also applying for a
grant to bring her programs to Beckwith Public School, but she is still awaiting the outcome of that application.

Salute veterans all year long
Something can be gay. Some-one can be gay.
It is possible to be both. In one instance, you are a ho-
mosexual. In another, you are lame or uncool. Vince Vaughn is fi nding out the hard way that not everyone can make the distinc-tion.
In trailers for his new, Ron Howard-backed movie The Di-lemma, Vaughn says that electric cars are “gay,” not in the I’m-a-guy-who-likes-guys sort of way, but in a “my parents are chaper-oning the school dance” way.
For this, CNN’s Anderson Coo-per and gay activist groups in the U.S. have lobbied, success-fully, for Universal Pictures to pull the trailer with the line from theatres.
Other forms of entertainment have gotten away with similar jokes. In The Simpsons, school bully Nelson gives Lisa her fi rst kiss, only to have it interrupted when his ne’er-do-well friends came upon the scene.
“Wuh, you’re kissing a girl? That is so gay!” says one of the bullies, clearly oblivious to his ignorance.
A family friend, who is a lesbi-an, was chatting with a relative of mine recently.
“That is so gay,” she said about some matter at hand.
“Well, I guess you’d know,” said my relative, before everyone started laughing, and our friend, laughing too, said, “Oh, no, wait, I didn’t mean it that way!”
In English, the same word can have multiple meanings.
So it comes as no surprise that some people would be a bit con-cerned with the word gay also be-ing used as a term for something uncool or lame.
What probably irked Cooper and company though was the sui-cides of gay teenagers in recent weeks. Timing is everything in comedy, and this joke – probably taped months ago – landed at the wrong time.
COLUMN
To the Editor;
The municipal election in Lanark Highlands is now behind us and the people have spoken. Over the past cou-ple of months, many letters were sent to area newspapers criticizing councillors Bob Sutcliffe, Peter McLaren, and Brian Stewart for things they should or should not have done.
With their recent election to council, it is obvious that the majority of voters were pleased with their past record of integrity, hard work and concern for the
taxpayers. As the old saying goes, “You can fool
some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
It is nice to know that sometimes per-severance pays off.
Congratulations, gentlemen! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely, Donna Rose-Creighton
Clayton
Congrats to re-elected Lanark Highlands councillors
It seems like each year, holiday and Christmas decorations come out sooner and sooner.
As November rolls out, red, white and green decorations begin to go up in some stores while hol-iday ads are popping up on TV and radio.
The seasonal decorations can be a lot of fun and make the seemingly sudden change in temperature feel a bit more welcome.
When you see red this month, take some time to associate it with something more important than planning out Christmas and holiday shopping: the poppy.
Nov. 5 to 11 is Veteran’s Week in Canada.
November is a time to look back and remember those who fought for our country overseas in numer-ous battles. Some came home while others paid the ul-timate sacrifi ce.
Today, Canada has many men and women overseas, fi ghting to make their country and the rest of the world a bet-ter place. Each person who fi ghts this fi ght has a goal of peace and freedom.
When someone in the Canadian Forces embarks on a mission, past or present, it affects more than the one person. The soldiers have families and good friends at home, waiting for them.
The goal of Veteran’s Week is to challenge Cana-dians to make remembrance more than something they feel – to make it something they do.
The Government of Canada suggests wearing a poppy over your heart, attending a Remembrance Day ceremony near you, talking with a friend or relative who has served in areas of confl ict, listen to veterans who are willing to talk about their ex-periences and be vocal about your feelings. Social media can be a great way to spread the word, ig-nite discussions and share thoughts about Remem-brance Day and Veteran’s Week.
While November is known as the month to re-member, our veterans should not be forgotten the other 11 months of the year.
This column is so gay

From the front page“…If we wouldn’t have done
this, our family member would remain unfound,” the statement said.
Dion’s family sensed some-thing had gone horribly wrong more than a week before the Ca-nadian businessman’s body was found Sunday.
He ran Ecopurse Mexico,a company that employsinmates making bags from re-cycled materials and which“gave work to over 2,000 Mexi-cans: prisoners and people of the poor communities of Costa Chica and Costa Grande,” hisfamily said in an email to the To-ronto Star.
Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd said he estimates Dion had been doing business in Beckwith for approximately 10 years.
“He was back and forth to Mexico a lot,” said Kidd.
According to a website setup by Dion’s family, he was last seen in Acapulco, Mexico,headed for a restaurant called Barbarjorja with someone named Carlos Ortega Cárdenas.
Someone tried to use one of his credit cards on Oct. 23, but it was declined.
The day after his disappear-
ance, he was to head east ofAcapulco for some businessappointments, but he did not show ups.
His family went to Acapulco to “reconstruct the circumstances of his disappearance.”
The Ministry of Foreign Af-fairs of Canada was notifi ed and began working with Mexican authorities, along with Lanark County OPP.
On Sunday, Oct. 31, Dion’s charred remains were located in Zumpango del Rio, in the trunk of his rental car, a Volkswagon Jetta.
In the past, Dion attended nu-merous council meetings and remained involved with his com-munity.
“He is certainly a vibrantindividual,” said Kidd.
“He has always been creative in his business…in the way he carried out his business.”
The reeve said he and the township wish Dion’s family all the best.
“If the reports fromMexico are right, this is a lossto our community and to the business community,” saidKidd.

MONTAGUE DRUG BUST
A 37-year-old Montague man and his common law spouse have been charged with three offences after police searched their home last week.
Members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit (Project Par-adigm) and the Smiths Falls Po-lice Service, assisted by the OPP Emergency Response Team, K-9 offi cers and members of the La-
nark County OPP detachment conducted a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (C.D.S.A.) investigation and executed a search warrant in Montague Township on Oct. 27.
Police found and seized ap-proximately 3,632 grams of dried marijuana bud, fi ve un-registered fi rearms, ammuni-tion and a stolen ATV, as well as “drug-related paraphernalia used for traffi cking purposes,” said police. One of the fi rearms was “sawed off,” which is pro-hibited.

Gen-Xers Face Retirement Challenge
STACIE ROBERTSON
423954
If you’re part of “Generation X,” it’s time to get serious about retirement planning. Or if you have children who are Gen-Xers, why not help ensure their retirement planning is on the right track?
Members of Gen-X-loosely defined as those born between 1965 and 1980-may still have plenty of time before retirement. But they should still be thinking about retirement, and how to save and invest for the day they leave the workforce.
The reality is that many members of this generation tend to be spenders instead of savers, not as focused on retirement planning. One U.S. study revealed that about half of all workers born between 1965 and 1972 are “at risk” of having too little money to maintain their standard of living during retirement. (The study didn’t include younger Gen-Xers because their financial histories are not long enough to yield meaningful interpretations of future behaviour.)
What’s the problem? Gen-Xers aren’t saving enough to pay for the type of retirement they’d like to have.
If you’re one of the reluctant savers, or have a child who isn’t paying enough attention to his or her financial future, what changes can be made to reach a more favourable retirement destination? Here are a few suggestions:
Don’t panic. Gen-Xers have one critically important asset on their side: time. Even the first wave of Generation X members have about 25 years until they reach the typical retirement age of 65. That’s long enough to make financial moves that will enable substantial progress toward retirement goals. But don’t wait too long.
Take advantage of retirement savings opportunities. A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is one of the best ways to save for retirement. Money contributed to an RRSP grows tax-deferred, so over the long-term it provides the opportunity to accumulate much more wealth than by investing outside of a
retirement plan. Plus, RRSP contributions can result in a generous tax break. It’s best to contribute as much as you can, as soon as you can. And don’t forget, you can make up for RRSP contributions you’ve missed in past years.
Identify retirement goals. We all have different visions of the ideal retirement. While one person might want to work until 65 and then open a small business, another might want to retire early and travel the world. The savings and investment strategy required should be based on individual goals.
Get professional help. It’s not always easy to create and maintain long-term investment strategies. A financial professional can help decide which investments are appropriate, how aggressive an investment strategy should be and when it’s time to make changes to a portfolio.
And remember, retirement may seem like a distant vision for Generation X. But it’s getting closer every day.

It’s that time of year again as the 22nd Annual Women’s Fair hosted by Lanark County Inter-val House is set for Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Carleton Place Arena.
This hallmark event is a won-derful celebration of the many women-led businesses in Lanark County and is an amazing op-portunity to shop, eat, and attend some of the most informative and entertaining seminars in the area.
This year’s panel of expert speakers is sure to offer some-thing for everyone. Back by pop-ular demand, hoarding expert, Elaine Birchall will again offer suggestions and tips for elimi-nating the clutter that holds us back and gives us insight about why we cling to certain things we may not actually need. Elaine is on at 10:30 a.m.
New this year is “Hot Flash Fitness” with personal fi tness in-structor, Jennifer Hicks. This is a dynamic and educational semi-nar developed to help women to be “proactive” and “positive” about their changing bodies and health. Be sure to attend this 11:30 a.m. presentation.
At 12:30 guests can learn all about wills and estate planning with lawyer, Jeanette Mather. She explains in plain language how you can protect your assets for your loved ones, and plan for your property and personal care should you become unable to care for yourself. This is information that everyone can and will use.
One of last year’s most appre-ciated seminars is back again at 1:30 p.m., “Everyday survival strategies with children” with Jackie, the child and youth pro-gram coordinator for Lanark County Interval House. All par-ents struggle sometimes when their children are experiencing
diffi culties or their own life’s pressures get too big, and Jackie offers real-life tips to smooth over the rough patches.
For the fi rst time at the Wom-en’s Fair, Samantha Klinck of Funny Duck Farms, a certifi ed organic local farm, will educate and empower women to use every-day herbs to improve their over-all health, the natural way. Learn about uses, recipes and what you can do to live healthy and natu-rally. Samantha will be the last presenter of the day at 2:30 p.m.
The best thing about all of these seminars; they’re all free. Admission to the Women’s Fair is free as well and there will be amazing prizes, a phenomenal silent auction, unique shopping opportunities, psychic readings and so much more.
The fi rst 140 guests will receive a free re-useable tote bag with all kinds of promotional goodies for local businesses and services so be sure to come early. Doors are open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. All proceeds from this event go directly to fund the important work of Lanark County Interval House as they serve the needs of women and children in our com-munity.

DESMOND DEVOY
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The town clerk will be asking Intelivote some frank questions about why there were problems with the voting system on elec-tion day.
“We’re all going to sit down with Intelivote…and ask some hard questions,” said town clerk Cindy Hal-crow, during an interview the day after the munici-pal election.
“We sympathize with the voters. By and large, most people were very pa-tient.”
About 34 other munici-palities in Ontario use the system provided by Inte-livote Systems Inc., and Halcrow was in the pro-cess of trying to set up a meeting with them.
The system was over-
whelmed by the late rush of people trying to cast their ballots.
As of 9:05 a.m. on Oct. 25, 3,686 people had voted in Mississippi Mills. By the time the polls fi nally closed an hour later than scheduled at 9 p.m., a total of 5,296 people had voted, meaning that 1,610 people waited until election day to cast a ballot. Overall, voter turnout stood at 54.4 per cent this year.
The decision to extend voting by an hour was made shortly after 7:30 p.m. on voting day, in con-sultation with other local municipalities also expe-riencing diffi culties with the system. Other areas that chose to extend vot-ing by an hour included Tay Valley and Montague townships. The Town of Arnprior also uses the same system, but they ex-
tended their voting period by a full day, until 8 p.m. on Oct. 26.

electronic voting delay in Mississippi Mills
day,” said Halcrow.When asked if staggered vot-
ing should be implemented in the next election to prevent the system from being overwhelmed, Halcrow responded that the town had done all it could, with a week-long voting period being offered, from Oct. 18 to 25. There were voter help centres open on elec-tion day and beforehand at the municipal offi ces, in Almonte and Pakenham.
“I think that that is suffi cient,” said Halcrow, though she urged future voters to avoid peak hours and vote early.
“On the computer, you don’t ex-pect to wait,” she said.
On the whole, Halcrow said she was pleased with how people took to online voting.
“Voters were generally very happy with voting with the Inter-net,” said Halcrow.
Other voters, and even candi-dates, however, were not happy with the electronic voting.
Ramsay Ward Coun. James Lowry expressed his frustration at the system, which he said he had been opposed to from the be-ginning.
“I’d like to congratulate the councillors that got elected,” said Lowry at the Mississippi Mills town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Monday, Nov. 1.
He added that because of “the failure of the system,” some people were not able to vote. He recounted the story of one mar-ried couple, where the husband was able to vote, but the wife was unsuccessful in her attempts to cast a ballot.
“My predictions were right,” said Lowry. “I think that whatever the (Intelivote) bill is, they should knock a hunk off of it because it (the system) didn’t work.”
Lowry was unsuccessful in his re-election attempt in the Oct. 25 municipal election.

DESMOND DEVOY
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Outgoing Mayor Al Lunney says he will miss his high-pro-fi le offi ce, but is just as eager to return to private life.
One of the largest motivators for Lun-ney in deciding to hang up his chains of offi ce was the upheaval in his family life over the past number of years.
“We’ve gone through absolute hell with so many members of my family dying,” he said quietly, noting that three broth-ers, a sister and a beloved niece have passed away. He expressed regret that he and his wife did not have time to properly
mourn or be there as much as they would have liked for their family.
“It’s (time to) reconnect with friends,” Lunney said.
Lunney decided to run for the mayor’s spot several years ago because of what he saw as a pervading sense of lethargy at the municipal offi ces.
“(The) main issue was (that) nothing was being done,” said Lunney during an interview at his offi ce at the municipal building on Oct. 1. He admitted that, be-fore his fi rst run, his exposure to munici-pal politics had been minimal at best.
“(I) never paid much attention to it…I was always sort of involved in the fringe,” he said, before realizing that, “all of the
issues are at the municipal level.” He ran on a platform of making needed
repairs to neglected infrastructure. “The philosophy of Mississippi Mills
was ‘If it’s not broken, don’t fi x it. If it’s going to cost us money, let’s not do it,’” said Lunney.
When he was fi rst running for offi ce, everything was in a “state of disrepair,” and he tried to explain the need for neces-sary infrastructure spending to the vot-ers.
“You’ve got to fi x it. When it breaks, it’ll cost twice as much,” he said.
After Lunney and his council were elected, they broke off into planning ses-sions, out of which arose a strategic plan
to address the municipalities water, sew-er and road repair needs. Then, the job got underway to fi nd money beyond the municipal tax base to pay for the repairs.
“I can’t say enough about the staff who made the applications,” said Lunney, not-ing that the town got $28 million in stimu-lus money, thanks in part to having staff who knew how to properly prepare the applications.
He pointed out, however, that the mon-ey for the new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) came about before the stimulus money was available, fl owing instead from a pre-existing federal infra-structure program.

APPLETON – Residents have
until Nov. 11 to provide input on what they would like to see done with River Road, as the county is considering improvements to
the roadway. “We’re at the stage where
we’re looking for public input with three options available,”
said Steve Allan, director of public works for Lanark County during an interview earlier this week.
A public meeting on the pro-posed project was held at the North Lanark Regional Museum outside of Appleton on Thurs-day, Oct. 21, which attracted about 40 people.
“I like having lots of people there. It’s a lot better than start-ing work in the summer and they’re not happy with it,” said Allan.
The portion of River Road under consideration is the 700-metre stretch from the bridge to the intersection with County Road 17.
The three options include ei-ther paved shoulders, or a gravel shoulder, or a curb and a gutter for half of the section.
After Allan and his staff col-lect the data from the public, they will see if they have con-sensus on the options. He will then compile his information into a report which he will pres-ent to Lanark County council in January 2011.
“(Then) it has to go through the budget process,” Allan said. “There’s no guarantee it will be part of the budget for next year.”
Costwise, Allan noted that there is not a lot of difference between the three options, with a ballpark fi gure of around $250,000. He noted there was the potential to build a sidewalk for that stretch of road, but added that sidewalks are a municipal responsibility, so the town of Mississippi Mills would need to examine the possibility.
“Some people feel it (side-walks) take away from the heri-tage look of the project,” said Allan.
People who still wish to com-ment on the process can access the county’s web site and down-load a form from the public works section of the site.

Getting to know … Erik KarlssonBy Rob BrodieOttawaSenators.com
Two years ago, he took centre stage as the Ottawa Senators’ top pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
And truth be told, Erik Karlsson was a bit of a mystery man to many of the fans at-tending the fi rst round of that draft at Sco-tiabank Place. But the Senators were con-vinced they’d landed a gem of a blueliner with rare offensive gifts.
With one season now under his belt, the 20-year-old native of Landsbro, Sweden, has already gone a long way toward justify-ing the immense faith Senators management had in him when they brought Karlsson in-to the organization. He made the team out of training camp last fall but a month into the year, was sent down to the Binghamton Sen-ators for some American Hockey League
seasoning.By the time the calendar fl ipped to Jan-
uary, however, Karlsson began to establish himself as one of the Senators’ top bluelin-ers, a 5-11, 175-pound dynamo with breath-taking skills with the puck. He fi nished his rookie season with fi ve goals and 21 assists in 60 games. His 26-point total ranked sec-ond among all Ottawa defenceman, behind only veteran Filip Kuba.
Karlsson took some time out to talk about hockey, his homeland and whole lot more.
Q: Your favourite hockey memory growing up in Sweden?
A: When I was picked for the Under-16 national team when I was 15. That’s the one I can think of right now.
Q: Who were your hockey idols grow-ing up?
A: There were so many. I’d probably say Nick Lid-strom. (Dan-iel) Alfreds-son was one of them. (Mats) Sundin, (Peter) Forsberg, those guys.
Q: When did you know you could make it to the NHL?
A: Last
year was probably when I realized that I could play here.
Q: Your welcome to the NHL mo-ment?
A: When they told me to get a house here and get settled.
Q: Best piece of advice you ever got from Daniel Alfredsson?
A: He helped me a lot, so it’s hard to pick out one thing. But he al-ways told me to be positive, even when it’s going not so good.
Q: What do you miss the most about Sweden?
A: The lunches. It’s food that you don’t have here.
Q: What’s your favourite thing to do when you go home?
A: I like playing tennis.Q: What other sport would
you like to play for a living if you weren’t a hockey player?
A: Tennis player.Q: How much would it mean
to you to play for Sweden at the Olympics?A: It would be awesome. It’s a thing
you really want to do.Q: What do like to watch on TV?A: I watch a lot of Two And A Half
Man. I’ve seen it all. That’s my favourite show. And I like Friends, too.
Q: Your favourite type of music.A: I like house music.Q: What’s the fi rst thing you bought af-
ter you signed your fi rst contract?
A:A pair of new shoes.
Q: What do you like to do to relax?A: Watch TV.Q: What’s your dream car?A: It would be a Ferrari.Q: Three things on your bucket list.A: Win the Stanley Cup, win an Olym-
pic gold medal and have kids.Q: Your favourite NHL city to visit.A: Vancouver. The atmosphere and the
surroundings there are so nice.
Q:Talent you’d most like to have.
A: I can’t sing. I like to sing in
the car, but I’m not very good.
Q: Your favourite movie.A: Lord of the Rings.

Atlanta ThrashersNov. 9, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet EastWith the addition of a bit of championship pedigree, the Thrashers have made some early season noise in the Eastern Conference. Atlan-ta’s off-season overhaul included the acquisition of four players — forwards Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd and Ben Eager, along with defenceman Brent Sopel — who had a major hand in bringing the Stanley Cup to Chicago last season. Homegrown talent is also part of the mix, with former fi rst-round draft picks Evander Kane and Alex-ander Burmistrov seeing regular duty for the Thrashers. Tobias En-strom is an underrated force on the Atlanta blue line, while Chris Mason has shouldered the bulk of the goaltending duties early on.

The high school football regular season has wrapped up, and the local teams have had mixed results with the playoffs on the horizon.
The Almonte and District High School Thunderbolts have won four out of six games played this season, and hope to continue their successful trend in future games.
“We just have a real cohesive, commit-ted group,” said Chris Spratt, Almonte’s
senior team’s head coach. Spratt said they have big players on
their team, with Jordan McMillan and James Fulton providing some muscle.
“Our (defensive) line is very good,” he said, “And how we (the team) will turn out in the future is all going to come down to this next week.”
Notre Dame Catholic High School foot-ball coach Mark Melville has been very pleased with the new junior team.
“It’s (the team) going very, very well,” he said, “To make the playoffs in their second year is great.”
“We’re going to continue with improv-ing our defence, as well as training some new people.”
Carleton Place High School junior coach Steve King explained his under-standing of their recent losing streak.
“Last year, we fi nished really strong,” he said.
“This year, we had a couple good games, but the three (games) in the middle were not up to expectations.”
Although the results did not turn out as expected for CPHS this year, King there is lots of success in store for the future.
“We’ve had a couple great players who really do shine,” he said. “And those (players) will go up to the senior team (next year).”
The junior playoffs get underway to-day (Nov. 4) with fi rst place Almonte (7-0) hosting Smiths Falls. NDCHS (5-2) fi nished second and host St. John from Perth. CPHS (2-5) missed the postsea-son.
In the senior division, Almonte fi n-ished fourth (5-2-1) and will play fi rst place Smiths Falls in the opening round. CPHS (2-6) failed to make the playoffs.

To the Residents of Carleton Place:
Thank you for your strong endorsement of support on October 25th.
When I declared my intention to seek the Mayor’s position last spring, I had no idea how much positive feedback I was about to receive from our community. It quickly became apparent that economic development, annexation and downtown corridor development were important issues that you wanted to see addressed. Further, when I spoke with you on the street and in your homes, responsible leadership, accountability, transparency and values and ethics, were important qualities that you wanted to see refl ected in the day-to-day business at the Town Hall.
Over the next four years I will be using our Community Plan to help guide my efforts. I will be counting on you and my Council colleagues and our municipal staff to work together to ensure that we build on this plan to make our community a better place to call home.
Again, THANK YOU for your overwhelming support. Please feel free to contact me with your ideas.

Lunney from page 13He noted that that program
funding doesn’t have to be fi n-ished until 2016, with the WWTP likely being completed in 2012. The stimulus money must be spent by 2012.
Lunney said that he is proud that, even after all of the infra-structure projects the last two councils have tackled, that Mis-sissippi Mills continues to have the third lowest municipal tax rates in Lanark County.
Lunney admits that when he took offi ce, there was a bit of a learning curve.
“It was a tough period of time for them (staff) when I was fi rst elected,” said Lunney.
While the mayor’s job comes with its own stresses, Lunney revealed he will miss many things, such as the Puppets Up!Festival.
Once, during a promotional trip to the Byward Market in Ot-tawa, with his doppelganger pup-pet in tow, his own shadow liter-ally stole the show from him.
While he is proud that his pup-
pet is almost an exact likeness, sometimes it’s too much to bear.
“Everybody surrounded me, not because of me, but because that the stupid puppet,” said of his trip to the market.
He has promised himself and his wife that they will give them-selves six months to unwind af-
ter he leaves offi ce in December. The couple, along with
being avid card players, also enjoy researching their fam-ily roots, and may take atrip to County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland to visit thevillage where he can trace his ancestry.

Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney will be hanging up his chain of offi ce this December, after two terms at the helm of council.

MISSISSIPPI MILLS – The present-day hamlet of Blakeney consists of about 40 houses whose in-habitants enjoy the peacefulness of life near the Mississippi River.
Over 100 years ago, there were many mills and industries that employed the village’s inhabitants . Between 1830 and 1900, these included a sawmill, tannery, brewery, fl our and grist mills, timber slide, hotel , cobbler shop, blacksmith shop, an oatmeal mill, railway station, school, general store and post offi ce, woollen mill, an Orange Lodge Hall, a cheese factory and a church.
These industries were located on both sides of the Mississippi River, but now nature has reclaimed the land so, except for the bridge, it looks exactly as it would have to the fi rst settlers in 1821.
This Sunday, Nov. 7, the local people andothers who enjoy hearing about the history of the area are invited to the unveiling of a historical plaque at 2 p.m. at the parking lot at the end of the bridge.
After a few short speeches and a tour, weather permitting, all are invited to the Mill of Kintail Gatehouse for the premiere of the DVD, “Blakeney – Then and Now,” and refreshments. The Ramsay Women’s Institute will have Tweedsmuir Histories and photos on display as well.
The RWI is thankful for the expertise of John Steele for welding the frame for the plaque and to Michael Dunn for his technical help in creating the DVD, and to the most prompt delivery of gravel to the parking lot by Rod Cameron.

DESMOND DEVOY
APPLETON – An army uni-form belonging to Maj. Robert Tait Mackenzie will be on dis-play for the fi rst time ever this
week. The uniform is one of the
highlights of a new exhibit “The Lost Generation: Local Soldiers of World War I,” which will be unveiled at the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton
this Sunday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. The museum’s curator, Brian
Tackaberry, had put the word out to local Royal Canadian Legion branches and other institutions that may have artifacts from the 1914 to 1918 confl ict in their possession. The Mill of Kintail went looking amongst its own fi les and uncovered the uniform belonging to one of Almonte’s most well-known citizens.
“They didn’t know they had this in their collection,” said Tackaberry during a recent tour of the museum, as he and fellow volunteers were still arranging displays.
While the name of R. Tait Mackenzie is well known in Al-monte, other lesser-known local soldiers are also celebrated in the exhibit.
“Not a lot is known about the Almonte people from World War I,” said Tackaberry. So, he and his volunteers set out to fi nd the full names and ages of the men listed on the Almonte cenotaph near the Almonte Old Town Hall.
“It’s amazing to see how many here (are) 19, 20, 21,” he said, looking at he ages of the 48 young Almonte men who died in battle. The museum devoted a special exhibit to the Second World War last year, but Tackaberry decid-ed that the First World War was becoming the forgotten war, and that its memory needed to be preserved.
Tackaberry concedes that that number might be a bit off since some Canadian soldiers were born in Almonte, but moved
away. Robert Naismith, for ex-ample, was born and reared in Almonte, but enlisted in Cal-gary, Alta. Meanwhile, a lot of the Almonte mill workers were from Scotland and England, but still signed up to fi ght.
The exhibit starts off with the very fi rst Almonte men who signed up when the hostilities broke out in August of 1914. They were taken by train to join the 42nd Regiment in Valcartier, Que., before being sent to the Western Front.
By war’s end, of the 12 young men who had signed up, only six returned from battle. Through diligent research, the museum has been able to identify all of the men in the only known pho-tograph of them all together.
By November 1916, the Almon-te Gazette decided to print the
names of all of the young men from the area who were over do-ing their bit for the war effort, but Tackaberry noted that while the names of the men were list-ed, the efforts of women were often overlooked. Many Cana-dian women were right near the front, working as nurses in fi eld hospitals.
One such woman wasSister Christina Stewart of Al-monte who died shortly after the war.
“We always think of the men,” said Tackaberry. Most of the participants, even members of the Canadian Medical Corps, received a participation medal, “even the women.”
Stewart’s cape chain is on dis-play, as were some of her epau-lettes from the medical corps.

WAR from page 22
“That was neat to fi nd something on a nurse,” Tackaberry said.
“Information on a soldier is easy to come by,” he noted, but nurses were hard-er to track down.
The exhibit also does not shy awayfrom the horrors of war as well. A young man from Pakenham, Pvt. Gilbert Thom-as Watchorn, lied about his age and en-listed at the age of 15.
He returned home from Europe shell-shocked, having survived a gas attack and been wounded. He died in 1922, never hav-ing fully recovered from his war wounds. A poster in his memory hangs on the wall, with the words “He answered his country’s call,” underneath a picture of him in uniform.
Hal Kirkland, Almonte’s postmaster for many years, was injured three times during the war, and the exhibit displays a “night letter,” telegram, telling Kirkland’s parents that he had again been wounded in action.
But some of Kirkland’s artifacts are of a happier variety, including a letter he wrote home to his parents, thanking them
for sending over copies of the Almonte Gazette, so as he could keep abreast of developments on the home front. The Ga-zette would also reprint, in their entirety, many of the letters from the local soldiers serving in Europe.
Soldiers were equipped with many of the necessary tools of the trade, such as helmets, bayonets and guns, but they were also given cigarettes by the Cana-dian Red Cross, and also copies of The New Testament, which had written on them “On Active Duty for God and King.”
“It’s been an interesting project,” said Tackaberry.
He noted that recent feature fi lms like the Paul Gross fi lm Passchendaele, “gave Canadians a revived interest in what went on.”
The museum will be open every week-end in November, and by appointment, to commemorate the Remembrance Day cer-emonies next week. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.
The guest speaker on the opening day will be Carleton Place author Larry Gray, whose book We Are The Dead, looked at the lives of that town’s war dead.

SPECIAL TO THECANADIAN GAZETTE
Reverends Alison and Brian Sharpe, a team in ministry, will begin their pastorate at theAlmonte Presbyterian this month.
Their fi rst day at the pulpit is this Sunday, Nov. 7, for the con-gregation’s 177th anniversary service at 10:30 a.m.
The Sharpes have spent about the same amount of time work-ing as a team in ministry with the Presbyterian Church in Can-ada as they have been married. They have served congregations in Montreal, Petawawa/Point Al-exander, Kemptville and, for the past 10 years, in Renfrew, work-ing half each time.
The couple has three sons; Willie and Ben, who attendthe University of Toronto, and Matt, who is fi nishing his fi nal year of high school. All three boys enjoy sports, particularly football.
Though Alison and Brianspend a good deal of their time do-ing ministry within the church, their shared approach to it as a team has provided them the free-dom to follow other interests as well.
Alison has training in recre-ation, is an avid reader/writer and has a passion for knitting and designing knitting patterns.
Brian is a certifi ed teacher and works as an occasional supply teacher in the local high school with students who are mentally and physically challenged.
He also serves as the chief fi re prevention offi cer for the Kemp-tville Fire Department, respon-sible for public relations, cur-riculum development and public education.
By taking on the half-time min-istry in Almonte, Alison and Bri-an are excited about the oppor-tunity to work with the Almonte congregation in the ministry.
The Sharpes began work on Nov. 1, with their fi rst Sundayat the pulpit this weekend.

It has long been known that drug use is prevalent among teens and youth, but this is not always the case.
Particularly since the 1960s and onwards, it has been com-monplace for teenagers to be seen ‘getting baked,’ but is it just the youth in the area involved in drug related issues in the com-munity?
Speaking at the Mississippi Mills police services board meeting on Oct. 18, the detach-ment commander for the Lanark County OPP, Insp. Gerry Salis-bury, noted that there is a pub-lic perception that drug-related charges predominantly come from youth.
“We can’t sit back and say that it’s always the youth that are us-ing drugs,” he said.
During a phone conversation later in the week, Salisbury elab-orated on adult charges related to drugs.
“People may think that its just kids using drugs, but the big war-rants on houses turn up charges of drug traffi cking which are all on adults,” he said.
A recent example of this just happened on Oct. 27 when a
search warrant was executed on Highway 15, Montague Town-ship, in the Hamlet of Numo-gate.
Through Project Paradigm, the Smiths Falls Police Service and the OPP conducted an inves-tigation which turned up eight pounds (3,632 grams) of dried marijuana, fi ve unregistered fi rearms, ammunition and a sto-len ATV.
Both residents were above the age of 35.
Salisbury mentioned that all of the seizures in the past six months that resulted in drug charges were nearly all by adults, except for one case.
The amount of drug charges has increased in the past six months as well, but Salisbury warns that it is because there is “a full-time offi cer doing that.”
The staff at the ever growing youth centre in Almonte had some insight on the matter of why there is a public perception that it is just youth who are us-ing, selling, abusing and dealing drugs.
“Adults own private space, youth do not. Therefore we can see more of what youth do because they often only have public space available to do it (drugs,)” says Julie Willbond,
the outreach coordinator of TYPS youth centre (Taking Young People Seriously).
“What youth do doesn’t happen in a vaccum,” she said.
“Youth refl ect what is taking place in society on a larger scale.”

DESMOND DEVOY
ALMONTE – A church charity will unveil a new initiative this week to encourage humanitarian tourism to Malawi.
A group of parishoners at the Al-monte United Church has been work-ing for several years to organize fund-raising trips that are part African safari, part humanitarian eye-opener.
“You go out into rural Africa, visit AIDS patients,” said Doug Younger-Lewis, one of the evening’s organiz-ers.
Along with seeing the face of the dis-ease, there will be more vacation-like activities, such as hiking in the Mala-wian mountains, go cycling through the countryside or see real hippopota-muses or elephants in a nearby river, all while staying at the offi ces of the Likulezi Community Care Organiza-tion.
“We hope to have that (program) available at our display desk for the project itself,” said Younger-Lewis, who has been to Malawi three times, twice in the 1990s, and again in 2008.
A fundraiser for the charity, and the new travel program, will kick off with a talk by seasoned traveller Sarah de Jonge, 24, who has family connections to Almonte.
She will be speaking at the Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Friday,
Nov. 5, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. She will speak about her experiences climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanza-nia. De Jonge will also provide visual illustrations of her travels through a slide-show presentation.
Admission is $10 and the evening runs until 9 p.m.
De Jonge will be joined at the pre-sentation by the Rusty Spokes seniors cycling club from Carleton Place, as well as a talk about hiking in the Rocky Mountains. There will be refresh-ments served and a silent auction. All proceeds go towards the Likulezi Project, helping orphans, people with AIDS and villagers in rural Malawi.
When most people think of travel to Africa, destinations such as Kenya or South Africa usually pop to mind fi rst.
“Malawi is much less expensive to travel around,” said Younger-Lewis, than the other two countries. “The downside is trying to get into Malawi. You can fl y into Nairobi, (Kenya) quite easily from the United Kingdom.”
After that, things can get diffi cult, he added.
“You have to be able to withstand 36 hours with no sleep,” he said.
Air travel in Africa can also come with problems that Canadians are not used to dealing with. Younger-Lewis once chose to fl y Air Zimbabwe out of Malawi during one of his trips. How-ever, Zimbabwean President Robert
Mugabe decided that he needed that plane to fl y to Egypt, leaving him and his fellow passengers stranded.
The idea of using tourism as a form of fundraising has “been in the back of our minds for a while,” said Young-er-Lewis.
“Over the last fi ve years, we’ve been talking about it and we have a lot of interest.”
The tough part has come through ar-ranging the travel itself. He predicted that the all-inclusive trek to the conti-nent would cost about $2,000.
“Which is not unreasonable,” he said. “Where can you stay, anywhere, for $50 a night?”
The fundraisers would likely limit the tour groups to a maximum of four couples at a time.
He feels that the two tracks on the trek’s itinerary would make for a night-and-day vacation.
“It can be horrifying visiting a poor, sick person in a rural area,” he said.
But as a visitor to Malawi, “You end up dancing their dances, eating their food.”
The funds raised from de Jonge’s speech will go not only towards the Malawian orphans that Younger-Lew-is and his family support, but also to help get the tourism program off the ground.
Younger-Lewis noted that he would be very happy “if we can get this one off the ground and sustainable.”

Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our
way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confi dence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

This past weekend showed us a harsh reality: winter is right around the corner.
Skiers, snowboarders and other winter enthusiasts may disagree with the negative aspects of the above statement, but the reality is, it is time to buckle down and prepare for the change in season.
One of the fi rst things to re-member is the winter parking regulations change this Novem-ber.
In Mississippi Mills, parking on all streets or highways within the municipality is prohibited be-tween 1:30 and 7 a.m., from Nov. 1 to April 15.
When required, the town will also place signs in areas designat-ed for snow removal, which will forbid parking at any time, until the signs are removed.
In all municipalities, it is anoffence to plow, shovel or toss snow from private entrances across or directly on to munici-pal roadways, or on to the prop-erty of another owner withoutconsent.
Those who do not follow this can be fi ned for their actions.
Mississippi Mills’ bylawalso says the town will not be responsible for any damagecaused to mailboxes, newspa-per containers or any otherprivately-owned items placed in municipally-owned right-of-way areas and damaged during snow removal.
As of Nov. 1, parking along township streets in Beckwith is not allowed and continues until April 15. No cars can be parked on the streets during that time.
Beckwith’s winter parking reg-ulations change also begins Nov. 1, which states that no parking is allowed on township streets until April 15.
In Carleton Place, the winter parking restrictions begin Nov. 15 and run until April 1, 2011. Park-ing vehicles on town streets from midnight to 7 a.m. is forbidden
The Carleton Place public works department remindsresidents that garbage and blue boxes should be placed indriveways approximately one me-tre back from the street line, and not directly on the edge of snow banks, to avoid damage and gar-bage/recyclables being scattered during snow plowing.
As the snow accumulates this winter, don’t forget to adjust your speed accordingly, and not only because of slippery streets.
As snow banks grow, visibil-ity from driveways decreases and puts drivers in danger as they at-tempt to back into streets.
Winter parking restrictions in effect around the region
Desmond Devoy / Canadian Gazette
Winter parking restrictions have begun in Mississippi Mills and Beck-with, and kick off Nov. 15 in Carleton Place.

Strictly for the Birds
Wednesday, Oct. 27 was a beautiful day with real fall weather.
Outside of Baker Bob’s in Almonte, the morning was enlivened by the fl ock of Canada geese fl ying south. Later that day, Joyce Clinton, who lives in Ramsay Ward, Conc. 8, had 12 to 15 evening grosbeaks, a white-throated sparrow and purple fi nch-es visit her yard and feeders.
Oct. 24, at Mary and Howard Robinson’s home, near Clayton, two pileated wood-peckers were feeding on a cedar tree, one on the right, the other on the left. Howard was disappointed that his camera was not handy at the time. In the afternoon, they drove to Pakenham, and returned by La-nark County Road 17, spotting a northern harrier quartering the fi elds, before fl y-ing west. On Oct. 21, Terry Kotjila had six fox sparrows moving through.
In Pakenham Ward, Ray Holland had 23 evening grosbeaks coming to his feed-ers. Sally Hansen observed two sandhill cranes in this ward, having being direct-ed to their location by Amelia Ah You. Two parent birds were with their young-ster, but one adult fl ew off. Sally snapped a good picture of an adult and the young-ster, Oct. 21.
Oct. 22, Mike Jaques called to report pine siskins in the garden, four to start, then later he counted 14. These are the fi rst in our area. In Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli heard sandhills vocaliz-ing as they fl ew over his woods on Oct. 25. The next day, he saw a small fl ock of eve-ning grosbeaks in the township. In Car-leton Place, Joyce and Mike Jaques called to say the fox sparrow had been back for four days. Georgina Doe and I went over to their home, hoping to see it. We were invited inside, we were looking out a win-dow, and there the fox sparrow was. Love-
Migration time for birds in Lanark Countyly rusty colouring, with big heavy streaking on it’s breast. Feeding beside it was a song and white-crowned sparrow. All three were doing their usual jigging back and forth to stir up the soil.

DELIGHTAllen Sinfi eld of the Beckwith Boy Scouts helps Jaylan Melcher play one of the fun Hallow-een games set up on Oct. 29 during the Beckwith Hal-loween Party at Beckwith Park.
We all know someone who has been touched by
cancer. My “someone”, my best friend Christelle, passed away in France seventeen years ago. She was eighteen.Christelle was booked for surgery immediately
after her brain cancer was detected. Complications from surgery led to paralysis. Then came radiation, with painful skin problems and fatigue. Finally, chemotherapy: nausea, immune defi ciency, hair loss.Today, there is new hope. The doctors, nurses,
therapists, social workers and psychologists who help our patients battle cancer are fi nding a better way.This fall, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre unveiled
Eastern Ontario’s fi rst CyberKnife. Cyber-what? CyberKnife is the world’s only robotic radio-surgery
system. In other words, it performs radiation therapy with precision and effectiveness of surgery. This allows doctors to get at otherwise inoperable tumors without any incision, pain or discomfort to patients. Krista Kowalchuk, our fi rst CyberKnife patient,
underwent the fi rst of three one-hour treatments with her doctors, neurosurgeon John Sinclair and
radiation oncologist Jason Pantarotto, to treat two tumors located on her spine. Before CyberKnife, Krista’s only options were brain
surgery (she has had 5 to remove other tumors) or fi ve-week courses of daily radiation treatment that could damage not only her tumors, but healthy tissue as well.Today, she needs
no anesthetic before her procedure, experiences only slight soreness on the spot where she has been treated, and spends less time in hospital.C y b e r K n i f e
is especially effective against brain, lung, prostate, spinal, liver, pancreatic and kidney cancers. While it is not “the cure”, it does help ensure that patients like Krista get more compassionate, effective, and timely care. Christelle would approve. Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP Communications and
Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital.E-mail him at [email protected]

CommunityCP volunteer honoured with Civitan of the Year
CANADIAN GAZETTE
CARLETON PLACE – A local woman has been honoured by the international president of the Civitian club for her volunteer work.
Sue Baker won the Civitan of the Year award at a recent Civitan convention for region fi ve held in Montreal.
The Carleton Place volunteer, who is a member in good standing of the Carleton Place and District Civitan Club, was honoured with the award by the club’s international director, Ross Munro, and international president, Gay Aaron.
On top of her big win, her club has undergone numer-ous changes of late, electing a new slate of offi cers on Sept. 1. Ron Legge was elected president, Heather Legge as trea-surer and Chris Collins as secretary. The trio will be joined by new directors Verna McFarlane, Linda Bickerton, Bill Edwards and Claire Edwards.
The Civitan club helps out at many local events, hosting weekly Tuesday night bingos at the Carleton Place Arena, barbecues at the Carleton Place arena, assisting with the annual Dragon Boat Festival, conducting spring and fall
cleanings of McNeely Avenue, collecting money for Christ-mas baskets and food for the food bank during the annual Santa Claus Parade, and other worthy initiatives.
In the 2009-2010 year, the Civitan Club in Carleton Place raised $51,000 for the community.

DESMOND DEVOY
MISSISSIPPI MILLS – Neilcorp Homes, the second largest employer in Almonte, has do-nated $8,800 towards the erection of two new signs, welcoming visitors to town.
Part of the money will go towards replac-ing the Almonte sign stolen from beside thenorthbound lane of County Road 29 this past June. The second half of the money will go to-wards erecting a new Almonte sign on March Road to welcome visitors from Ottawa to the area.
“When we saw the article about the missing sign in the community, we thought it would be a good chance to step forward,” said Robert Dick, co-owner of Neilcorp Homes, as he and his business partner, Doug McIntosh, present-ed a cheque to Mississippi Mills town council on Monday, Nov. 1.
“Thanks guys, we appreciate that,” said Almonte Ward Coun. Rick Minnille, after the presentation.
“I hope you realize that there’s a broken sign near Pakenham,” joked Pakenham Ward Coun. Denzil Ferguson.
Insp. Gerry Salisbury, the detachment com-mander for the OPP in Lanark County, re-vealed last month that the Almonte sign that had been stolen was likely thrown into the Mississippi River in Carleton Place.
